My .02 - I *really* liked Jordi's hands-on ipv6 tutorial at the nanog 35 in Los Angeles. There are some suggestions on improving it in the survey forms: http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0510/surveys/ which shows that folks care enough to want to add stuff in. I think we should try and get the same thing going again. Maybe we should add some additional ipv6-only network resources to access after basic ipv6 connectivity and keep it set up for the meeting. I love the idea of the nanog net doubling as an ipv6 play area for those of us who otherwise don't have the time to set up and muck with this stuff. I bet if we allocate Sunday morning or afternoon time to another free ipv6 hands on tutorial folks would participate. Bill On 5/31/07, JORDI PALET MARTINEZ <jordi.palet@consulintel.es> wrote:

We also organize frequently non-for-profit IPv6 workshops at different venues, including ARIN meetings and also dedicated workshops for customers all around the world where there is a demand for it.

Hi, there have been regular IPv6 workshops both at APRICOT (www.apricot.net) and SANOG (www.sanog.org), for the last few years. Nathan Ward wrote:

If you want books, http://safari.oreilly.com/.

We have used the 'IPv6 Network Administration' by Murphy & Malone as supplementary material for the above workshops and would recommend it. You know it's a good book for operators when the authors have taken pain to contact RIPE-NCC and put in a whole sub-chapter on RIR policies etc.. Of course, YMMV, thanks -- gaurab

If your router vendor supports IPv6 (surprisingly, many do!):

Too bad the IPv6 support on the low-end Ciscos is mostly broken in many ways (does not work on WLAN, does not work across the local 4 port switch, etc.) , which are also the routers most classrooms could afford. Pete

lab-router#conf t Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z. lab-router(config)#ipv6 ? access-list Configure access lists cef Cisco Express Forwarding for IPv6 dhcp Configure IPv6 DHCP general-prefix Configure a general IPv6 prefix hop-limit Configure hop count limit host Configure static hostnames icmp Configure ICMP parameters local Specify local options mfib Multicast Forwarding mfib-mode Multicast Forwarding mode mld Global mld commands multicast-routing Enable IPv6 multicast neighbor Neighbor ospf OSPF pim Configure Protocol Independent Multicast prefix-list Build a prefix list route Configure static routes router Enable an IPV6 routing process unicast-routing Enable unicast routing

And then chances are good that you find useful training material on their Web sites, often not just command descriptions, but actual deployment guides.

The magic answer to training setups: one big fat Xen box with a lot of VM's, virtual interfaces and of course: Quagga. It looks like a Cisco, it feels like a Cisco, it is almost a Cisco. At least the interface is more or less the same. And that is what people need to learn, the basics of configuration. If there is a little variation in commands they should be able to cope to that. If they only know how to type it into a Cisco then they didn't really learn about it. Yes it is different, no it is not as cool, but it makes it very cheap to learn people these things. That said of course, who still types directly into their routers? I do hope that folks use one of the nice (custom) router/device management tools out there which avoids all of that. Greets, Jeroen

..oooor http://www.ipflow.utc.fr/index.php/Cisco_7200_Simulator

Which is a great thing, but license-way quite useless, as it still means that you will have to have an official license for each IOS you run, and as IOS comes with a box, you would either be able to run your real 7200, or the simulated one. Or does anyone know where you can get IOS-only licenses so that you can run it on simulators? Same goes for the Vendor J simulation/training thing that doesn't exist. When you are on the cheap and do not want to break any laws / want-vendor-x- to-ignore-you-for-the-rest-of-your-life then you better play it on the safe side and get proper licensing. At a certain point you will be more than comfortable with the cli anyway and configuring ethernet ports. There are afaik not many options to configure other types of ports on simulated hardware / quagga's though. Greets, Jeroen

You said "magic". Does this mean that there is a site where you can download ISOs for this big fat XEN box?

www.debian.org www.ubuntu.org www.fedoraproject.org .... I guess you know how that works. (apt-get install quagga, *xen etc.. read the various FAQ's online) XORP is of course also a great one, but doesn't have the 100% cisco-alike feeling. You could possibly even use livecd's for this. It might be an idea for somebody indeed to make a pre-cooked iso which does something like this, then again, like quite a few other things, as it is quite specific, a mere "howto build a fat Xen-Quagga howto" might be more appropriate than yet another distribution...

You still have to figure out what to put into such a tool and that often involves quite a bit of labwork where you type things into routers and watch the results.

Of course, but that is why, when you build a network, you first set it up in a lab. You can't make something when you don't know what you are going to do with it. A good extensible design and above all, a lot of experience, will help a lot in that area. Greets, Jeroen
